Beginning to heat up in Vietnam!

As the girls continue to arrive in Vietnam, I realize that many girls I had put down are better looking than I remember - such as Puerto Rico and USA. [Both are, of course, expected to place - a Miss Universe were at least one doesn't place? Ludicrous. However, it wasn't until I saw them posing poolside that I realized that Ingrid Rivera and Crystle Stewart may have what it takes to be crowned.] Albania has lost some luster, and Mexico did too - but not so much that they're still not favorites. Guam posed in some gorgeous poolside photos I'll try to post. I'm saddened that two of my initial favorites - Canada and China - have both failed to post pictures on the official website, and that neither have yet to show up in Vietnam. Also, Panama is quickly rising up my favorites list. And hometown girl, Vietnam has also produced a couple of outstanding poolside photos. I'll try to post some of those photos here soon! Oh, and Ukraine and Dominican Republic gained extra points, while Hungary has also grabbed my attention. We'll see how I feel tomorrow! [Aside from Canada and China, I'm also excited to see poolside pics of Egypt and Ghana, my two favorite Africans. Nigeria also sizzeled in her BSC swimwear!]
